New Ways of Running Batch Applications on z/OS: Volume 4 IBM IMS

Book Description

Mainframe computers play a central role in the daily operations
of many of the world's largest corporations. Batch processing is
still a fundamental, mission-critical component of the workloads
that run on the mainframe. A large portion of the workload on
IBM® z/OS® systems is processed in batch mode.

This IBM Redbooks® publication is the fourth volume in a
series of four. They address new technologies introduced by IBM to
facilitate the use of hybrid batch applications that combine the
best aspects of Java and procedural programming languages such as
COBOL. This volume focuses on the latest enhancements in IBM
IMS™ batch support. IMS has been available to clients for 45
years as IMS Transaction Manager, IMS Database Manager, or
both.

The audience for this book includes IT architects and
application developers with a focus on batch processing on the z/OS
platform.
